Allow ignoring spelling/grammar errors for sections of a document.

[Guest]

I have a certain writing style and Office's grammar checker doesn't like it
much, especially when I make lists. The problem is that it's for the
different writing styles I use for different things, so tweaking the settings
all the time is a bit of a hassle.

I enjoy using the automatic grammar check while I'm typing, but would like
to be able to just turn it off completely for certain sections of a document,
if that's possible.

As for spell check, I'd like if we could have an option to "Add all
capitalization variations to dictionary" that would allow me to add
"ipconfig" once and have it recognize "IPConfig", "IPconfig", etc as correct
spellings.

You can select text and format its language as "Do not check spelling or
grammar" using Tools | Language | Set Language. If you find you have to do
this often, perhaps it would be convenient to define a character style with
this property; you can then just apply the style when you want
spelling/grammar errors ignored.
